Bewitch Me [Book 1 & 2, The Witch's Fate]

Chapter Fifty Seven - Fulfill my wish

"I least expected the pyscho to be you, I expected someone...like Blair really. How many of you are here, tell me!".

I froze in my tracks at the mention of my name, well my other name. There was only one person who knew Blair and that person is...

"There's someone else Isabelle". Minuet hissed beside me. "There are two of them..".

I wasn't even paying attention to whatever Minuet was telling me the entire time as I was using my magical skills to see everything that was inside the building.

Somehow, I was partly blocked from doing that but at least I saw four blurry figures in the building. It's as if my magic was resisting me again.

I easily recognised one of them even without magic.

I'm so gonna end him now.

"Wait". Minuet ordered. "Listen".

"Tell me what you did to her Xander!". A shadowy person slammed Xander into the wall with full force, obviously furious at that moment.

And hell that person looked like me!

"Minuet!". I yelped in surprise.

I expected Xander to be all scared or maybe I don't know...angry but he just ended up doing his creepy laughs again.

That same laugh that sent shivers down my spine as Blair.

"I don't even need a book to prove how crazy these hunters are". Minuet spat out. "They're just truckload of psychopaths passed down from generations".

Ouch Minuet.

"Answer the damn question Xander!". The shadowy person thrusted some kind of silver dagger into his right arm furiously making blood spill freely.

Ouch.

Wait, why silver?

I furrowed my eyes in fear as his body wasn't handling the wounds very well. He seemed like he was going to pass out, but he didn't.

No, don't feel bad!

He deserves it after all!

"Unlike you guys, my duty is to protect humans and not kill them you weirdo. Try summoning her all you want but Isabelle...She won't-". Before he could complete the damn sentence, she flickered her arms in the air creating a medium black ball of energy towards him.

He didn't even budge and just let her do her thing!

What's wrong with this guy?

"Don't try stopping me again hunters, you won't like the results. I get what I want, always". The shadow laughed darkly after watching the trembling figure of Xander and disappeared into the thin air.

I'm still shaking from shock.

H-he mentioned my name!

My real name!

What do they want from me this time?!

"Does this mean that...". I closed my eyes briefly and opened it again. "T-they...they are...".

"They're after you". Minuet cut in. "Both of them".

"W-why?". I trembled. "The two of them? A hunter and a....I don't know...a stalker?".

"Don't listen to them, it could be a trap again! Now that he's weak we can finish him at once Isabelle!".

"B-but we need to know why he-".

"Oh no, no soft spots now!". He face palmed with an annoyed groan. "Don't even start pitying him now! Are you serious?!".

I watched as Xander leaned against the bloody wall with battered cuts and bruises all over him. He had his eyes closed, like he was trying to recover from something that happened.

For once, I felt pity.

"Isabelle...".

The look in Minuet's eyes made me realize that I'm his owner as well as his saviour at this moment.

It was up to me to let him die in their hands or protect him. Memories of his bloodied fur and injured body made me yelp in fear and realization. If I let this slide again, I'd be to blame but on the other hand-

"For once fulfill my wish!". He yelled angrily, but not enough to attract Xander's attention. "I've fulfilled yours!".

What was I to do?

Avenge for Minuet or....

Try sneak information from Xander?

It sounded like I should choose Xander and Minuet at this moment...

I'm always stuck in choosing one of these guys.

Of course this always happens in times like this.

It's just a choice!

Simple choice of action!

And not preferring this over this!

A cold thing ran across my shoulder making me to flinch when Minuet's eyes were no longer green anymore but-
